This trial tests if adding dexamethasone to a standard numbing medicine (bupivacaine) affects how much of the medicine stays in your blood. It may help improve pain relief after shoulder surgery.
This trial tests adding dexamethasone, dexmedetomidine, or both to a nerve block injection to reduce pain after the block wears off. This could help patients who have arm surgery for a broken bone.
This trial tests if adding two medicines, dexmedetomidine and dexamethasone, to the numbing shot around the arm's nerves can improve pain relief during and after upper arm or hand surgery.
This trial tests two different methods for numbing the arm (infraclavicular block) before upper extremity surgery. It aims to find out which approach works better to block pain.
This study tests whether adding a steroid medication (dexamethasone) to a nerve-blocking pain technique makes shoulder arthroscopy surgery more comfortable and extends pain relief after surgery. The nerve block numbs your shoulder area so you need less general anesthesia.
This study tests a method to prevent pain from returning after a nerve block wears off following orthopedic surgery. It may help patients who have surgery on an arm or leg and want to reduce pain after the block ends.
